I'd love Peppers for Homer reasons, but we aren't taking a QB #1 overall.

Wanna bet?

Very doable plan if we were the only team in the league... and there was no salary cap...

We could sign Joecjel and Warmack for gigantic OL contracts, putting them among the highest at their respective positions, and still not face cap trouble until 2020.

Peppers is making a good case today as the #1 pick

Like completely bitching out on making a tackle attempt on Curtis Samuel during his 9 yard run to setup the 4th down...?

What else made him look #1 overall? His first career INT tipped them dropped right into his hands.

Fuck Peppers and his draft stock.

Peppers isn't a first overall pick. He's a tweener. He's to small for the line and not big enough for a run stopping lb'er spot.

And he's to big and slow for Safety.

He is a good player, but without a position

Clevfan4life

correct me if im' wrong but isn't Peppers running 4'3-4'4 40's? And that's too slow for safety? Hell I might draft that fucker at RB. But srsly defensively he's gonna be a nasty hybrid LB/FS

Did Peppers make a play in the secondary that I missed?

I did see him trailing slower Buckeyes... some with the ball... some without it. But there was that tipped ball he centerfielded...

Defenders I saw I'd want included:

a Taco and a large Glasgow;
a McMillan and a Hooker.

Peppers = Hester 2.0

No. But does Ohio State win that game without Malik Hooker's 3rd pick 6 of the year?

Who cares? As I've argued with Woody on - Peppers is NOT an elite athlete and no he doesn't run in the 4.3's. He MIGHT run a high 4.4's.

His shuttle, split and cone drill should be good though.

No chance unless you grossly overpay

Seriously? If you want a punt returner as the #1 pick. Otherwise....Malik Hooker was every bit the defensive player as Peppers.

(but I don't know if Hooker will be coming out)

If Peppers were there with our second pick from the Eagles...OK. Not #1

I will go the CalFox route: Hot Fudge Sundae.

I will help: No.

Unsympathetic

Let some other team waste their pick on Peppers.

He is a good run defender who plays well in the box, but he has problems in pass coverage. He is athletic and fast enough to cover, but he gets caught flat-footed and is slow to react to cuts. That consistently allows separation. In the NFL, Peppers would be best as a strong safety who walks down into the box like Deone Bucannon. However, Peppers could get picked on in pass coverage.

Peppers.is not discernably better than Reynolds or Kindred. You know, the guys we already start.

Except Collins played center field for Bama so any weaknesses of his are going to be magnified and overblown. Peppers doesn't even come close to the same responsibilities.
